Pull-tab for pull-top can

ABSTRACT

This invention is an improvement of pull-tab for pull-top cans used for beverages, beer and food for a long period of storage. The pull-tab&#39;s terminal area will let the finger enter the tab to open the can. The tab will be improved from planed shape touch on lid to an inclined angle facing upward. The up angle area may be planed or bending curved up allowing finger to enter the space supplied. Then the operator can quickly lift the pull-tab to open the can.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A pull-top can is broadly used for beverages, beer and food cans, butcurrently marketing products showing the pull-tab of pull-top can areplaned horizontal touch on the can body. The space between pull-tab andcan body is too tie to let the finger enter operation. Assistance fromsomething such as knife is needed to help lift the tab up to allowfinger to enter and pull up the tab to open the can. Sometimes it mighthurt the finger, if there is no pre-lift mechanism on the pull-tab toapply direct operation. Hence, it is necessary to make an improvement tothe pull-tab of pull-top can for our better life.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An improvement of pull-tab for pull-top can is at tab's terminal for thefinger to enter the area to make an inclined angle up where above thearea of the tab may be planed or bending curved up for the finger toeasily enter the space supplied. Then, there will be a fast and easylift at the pull-tab to open the pull-top can.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

An improvement of pull-tab for pull-top can modifies the terminal areaof the pull-tap from planed and horizontal to touch on the lid of thecan to an inclined up on an angle where the angle area may be planed orbending curved up to allow the finger to enter operation easily. Thenquickly and easily lift open the pull-top can.

1. This invention is an improvement of pull-tab of the pull-topmechanism to open the pull-top can, which consists of a metallic canbody and a pull-top mechanism at the caulked lid with the cut-openportion on the top of the can body. The pull-tab which is the main partof the pull-top mechanism connected to the cut-open portion with thepin. The terminal angle may be planed and the terminal area will be bigenough to allow finger to enter the space supplied to facilitate theopening of the can by pulling the tab.
 2. As stated in claim 1, thepull-tab's terminal angle may also be bending curved up and the terminalarea will be big enough to allow finger to enter the space supplied. Theshape of the tab also helps enhancing the strength of the tab andimproves the overall appearance of the can.
